Abstract

The hydrophobic nanocomposites of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) and Fe3O4 (RGO/Fe3O4) were prepared by a one-pot process through co-precipitation under alkaline conditions. The microwave absorption performance of the RGO/Fe3O4 nanocomposites was analyzed according to their electromagnetic parameters. The results showed that the RGO/Fe3O4 nanocomposites displayed better absorbing performance than the pristine Fe3O4 nanoparticles, owing to the synergistic effect of Fe3O4 and RGO. The maximum reflection loss (RL) of the RGO/Fe3O4 nanocomposites with a thickness of 2 mm reached −45.7 dB at 13.3 GHz, and the bandwidth (RL < −10 dB) ranged from 11.5 to 16.5 GHz. However, the maximum RL of the Fe3O4 nanoparticles with a thickness of 5 mm only reached −5.3 dB at 5.7 GHz. The RGO/Fe3O4 nanocomposites have a great potential application in high-performance electromagnetic microwave absorbing.
